Its all depend on the severith of your teeth. And extraction type of cases always takes time than non extraction types. And its also depends on type of braces you choose.
And for cost wise its always depend on the quality of the braces and types of braces.. and area which are you staying.
Braces are metal which i always suggest to go with economical and good. Of the factor that it should not be visibile much than go for ceramic self ligating than normal ceramic.
And if surrounding structure of teeth is good you can go any time for the braces. Do not delay from now on. If u its requires go ahead as soon so you will get rid of it soon
Never ask your doctor to do hurry or fast in the treatment.
Pain will be initially 2 to 4 day after every apoinmnt. Once in a month there will be tightining apoinment.

Greetings
Duration of the treatment depends upon severity of problem you have.Tooth movement is a gradual process so anyways in any case not less than 6 months.
Regarding cost it depends on the type of bracket you choose .There are variety of brackets and system ,cost is related to extra features they have like Metal brackets are quite economical whereas ceramic brackets are comparatively costly but esthetically better n barely visible ..On other hand Invisalign gives faster n better results also it is esthetically pleasing gives you freedom of removal but little expensive .
Age has nothing to do with pain. Braces treatment are painless , you hardly experience pain for 1 or 2 days when first time wires are placed and that is absolutely bearable.
For further details you can consult on abovementioned contact.
